April Fool’s day gave us our last update on Justin Lin’s HIGHLANDER reboot…today we aren’t so lucky.

Comicbookmovie.com is propagating a rumor that British tough-guy Vinnie Jones is in line to play villain The Kurgan in HIGHLANDER: THE RECKONING, a role originated in 1986 by Clancy Brown. Foolish, right?

IRON MAN scribes Art Marcum and Matt Holloway are at the keys, scripting the story of an Immortal from the highlands of Scotland, once trained by ancient Immortal Ramirez, fighting in modern times against other immortals in a “contest” called the Gathering; a contest whose ultimate end line is that there can be only one.

No word (or rumor even) on who’ll play the two leads, Connor MacLeod (Chris Lambert) and Juan Ramirez (Sean Connery), but feel free to start throwing out some names. Hell, why not bring in a 53 year old Lambert…he’s still alive, right?

What says you? You find Jones as The Kurgan as laughable as I do…or does that sound like a blissful marriage? Who do you think ought to assume Lambert’s mantle? Connery’s?
